DRIFTING BOAT


When we are identified with our thoughts, since this identification hides the access to BEING in us, we are no more vertically rooted into Reality's essence and we feel lost.

This is why as to reassure ourself we seek an horizontal anchor into society which, made of people as disconnected as we are, allows us seeing our insanity as normality. The more we are the truer our fabricated vision seems.

This generalized co-dependency starts very early in the child's life who innocently believes, and needs de believe, the adults know what they do and where they are going. Since we are drifting en masse we don't realize that our collective wander and ramble just goes nowhere.

Driven by the hidden current of our inner pulsions which ask always for more symbolic satisfactions, we condemn the rules which we declared right yesterday, without asking if our today's rules will be declared wrong tomorrow ?

As to evade this disturbing question we have a word which works well even though it is totally misleading, it is the word "progress". Indeed, who would dare questioning progress ? Yet, we remain blind to the fact this is our progress that has taken us to the brink of a generalized upheaval and planetary chaos.

And since the system we collectively weave has for function to hide our lostness to our own eyes, we wrap it with a solemn and even sacred pretence, that renders acceptable killing each other in the name of our vain thought-systems and hoovering rules.

"Don't build your home on the sand but on the rock" warned Jesus. This rock is BEING in us. The illusory realm upon which we build our home and the society's rules we forge, are surface stuff that floats on the tumultuous but hidden waves of our unresolved pains. When we lose access to BEING in us, which is who we Really ARE, our thoughts may invent the most wonderful identities, and plastic surgery rebuild our faces, but we remain no one,.. just empty punchinellos.

Our Real identity has sunk in us, loaded with these pains too big to be faced and felt. And when you are not who you Really ARE, you are but no one.

We've invented many stratagems to mask our lostness, claiming our drift is, necessary, voluntary, strategic, mathematic or even artistic, whatever. We're still miserables trolls hiding the fact this inconsistent fickling is imposed by the disconnection from Reality in us.

We invested so much of our faith, energy, time and wealth, in our lies which aim at making our fake world appear Real, that now we are totally immersed and entangled into this illusion and have hard time retrieving the way out from this maze.

The way out is the way in, and, fortunately, it remains reachable at any moment. We just have to stop identifying with thoughts and we retrieve BEING in us, automatically.

When we retrieve BEING in us which is pure consciousness, and when we observe the fake world we've created, its legitimity vanishes like smoke in the wind. Now, if you want to undertake the travel back towards the Real world, the magic spot where you must stand as to engage in this bewitching trip is the Present Instant.

Time is a devastating illusion that only serves identification with thoughts which needs the virtuality of Time to unfold and exist.

The Present Instant ends nowhere and nothing happens next. It just continuously transforms itself and its tip's renewal is so fast that its duration reaches Zero, the doorway to INFINITY. This is where we meet with Reality's essence which is also INFINITE. There, the magic is unveiled.

So jump out of your drunken and drifting boat and join us. Actually you are the dreamers not us. And your dream, could it be the American one or any other, is slowly turning into a nighmare, admit it, don't be so obstinate. Your drifting boat is on fire my friend, and the waters around you are dangerously growing .. for the times they are a changing.

Wake up.

A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD

The IPCC warned us in its latest report, that we should bring back our CO2 emissions to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this before 2020, if we want to keep our planet within the 2° degrees. And the IPCC bases this prevision on the most optimistic scenario. Indeed, during the last decades, the scientists forcasts about Global Warming have been constantly revised upwards. The cascading effet is pretty uncertain and, for instance, we don't know the exact impact of CH4 emissions through the warming of the oceans and the melting of the permafrost. Lima Conference on Climate ends with ridiculous and criminal decisions about CO2 reduction: Reducing CO2 emissions from 40% by 2050 is just nonsense. You can no more haggle over with Global Warming that, for instance, you can haggle over with a fire that transforms your house in a furnace. You cannot say to the blaze: "stop, wait 20 minutes until the firemen arrive". The United States found $ 3000 billion just for I

What can you do to save the planet Earth?

What can you do to save the planet Earth? You might have had this question popping up in your mind – “What can I do alone to save the environment?” Actually, there are thousands of people like you who have the similar thought in mind, amidst that dilemma and hesitation, no one’s taking a step. But you, alone, have the power to initiate, and those thousands will eventually follow you. No step is a small step, and every contribution matters in its own way. While caring for the planet isn’t a matter to be saved for June 5, however, it’s a good time to start today and take the pledge to do whatever you can, in order to achieve a sustainable environmental development. Organize a cleaning drive: That’s something you can easily do! You have organized parties before, this time, organize a cleaning drive. Call your friends, friends of friends, office colleagues, acquaintances and family members to be a part of this act. Gather in your neighbourhood or a popular market area and clea

DIRECTLY CAPTURING CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE

Image
Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products. This new technology is similar to the carbon capture and storage technology used to capture emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities. The difference is that direct air capture removes excess carbon directly from the atmosphere, instead of capturing it at the source.  It is relatively straightforward to measure and account for the climate benefits of direct air capture, and its potential scale of deployment is enormous. But the technology remains costly and energy-intensive. It is often difficult to pin down costs for new direct air capture technologies, but a 2018 study estimates that it would cost about $94-$232 per metric ton. Earlier estimates were higher.  Direct air capture also requires substantial heat and power inputs: scrubbing 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide from the air could require ne
